Rights Action works in Honduras and Guatemala in support of community-based land, environmental and human rights defenders resisting harms and (often deadly) violence caused by different sectors of the global economy: mining and hydro-electric dams; for-export production of African palm, sugarcane and bananas; tourism and the ‘sweatshop’ garment industry.
We are a non-political and non-governmental association whose objective is to provide medical, educational, spiritual, moral and social assistance to any person with limited resources, orphaned or abandoned. We provide medical consultations, perform specialized surgeries and help people find a permanent home in Guatemala. We exceed the expectations of the sick and needy we serve, but also of the volunteers who collaborate with us and the doctors and professionals, benefactors and government who work with us. Our common goal is to develop a sustainable project with transparent management.
We began in 1998 in Honduras working with an orphanage and building houses after Hurricane Mitch destroyed much of the country. We served in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. We began serving in Guatemala in 2011.
